I just purchase these from across the pond. May need some attribution help once they arrive. It was an impulse purchase. The description was simply "Lot of 8 Kushan AE Coins". I'm a sucker for elephants so I was really bidding on one although the others are appealing as well.
I don't have images for most of my purchases for the last six months or so. Just took this USB shot this week. Eritrea - Lira, 1890R
I've been putting random silver foreign coins in a jar recently, here's what it looks like. Nothing super rare but pretty cool to see the variety.
Not my coin it belongs to a dealer friend whom aquired it in a collection. It isnt in his or my wheelhouse thus posting it for any comments. Are appreciated in advance...
I already had one of these but this one is a significant upgrade. British Colony. George III Stuiver 1813 MS62 Brown NGC, London mint, KM10 Composition: Copper Diameter: 33mm Obverse: Laureate head right Obverse Legend: GEORGIUS III. D:G. R E X. Reverse: Crowned denomination within wreath Reverse Legend: COLONIES OF ESSEQUEBO & DEMARARY TOKEN Edge Description: engrailed
I have a couple later dated (early 1900's) 5 marks with King Albert of Saxony, I think they are impressive looking. About all I know is there are big price jumps between VF's and XF's...apparently they circulated enough that most wore down some.
Nice original smooth worn piece.It's also my first early spanish copper,really liked the smooth well circulated texture.
